On top of inviting friends or family to participate in video calls, the new feature also allow hosts to invite those who don’t own a Facebook account. Messenger Rooms sessions can be shared on Facebook through News Feed, Groups, and Events so it’s easier for others to drop by. For private sessions, hosts are able to choose who can see and join it. Additionally, room moderation controls such as reporting or removing participants and locking others from entering can be done while the group call is in session....

According to multiple reports, The Libra Association officially submitted a request to the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA), in an effort to clarify how Facebook’s coin will be regulated under Swiss law. The choice of Switzerland as the home for the newly established Libra Association,which when fully developed will have a diverse group of member organizationsspanning technology, financial services, social impact organizations and venturecapital, among others, harnesses Switzerland’s role as a nucleus for internationalorganizations,” the Libra Association said in its official press release....

Screenshots of this feature were first shared by Matt Navarra (@MattNavarra), a well-known social media consultant on his official Twitter account recently. In his screenshot, Facebook looks to be prompting users to confirm their location so that they can be matched with other users who are also living around the same vicinity. The social media platform will then prompt them to confirm their neighborhood. Upon confirmation, Facebook will utilise a user’s location data to display posts, groups and marketplace items with other users within the same area....

The formula of Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water is pretty much the same as it has been for the rest of the series. You make use of the Camera Obscura to exorcise spirits, but you have to do so at the very last moment. The setting of this particular game is a fictional Mount Hikami. Being a remaster, you can expect better graphics to fit the machines of today....

As found by Kotaku East, a trailer for the Fatal Frame pachinko machine has been recently released. It actually looks quite good, which makes it a shame that it’s a pachinko trailer and not one for a video game. At least the trailer is nice enough to warn you of “shocking” scenes (read: jumpscares). This makes another game series that has fallen into the pachinko life support. Various Konami IPs have had the same fate, from Metal Gear to Castlevania....

According to a CNN exclusive report, investigations into Huawei can be traced back as far as 2017, the year that the Trump administration formally held office. At the time, the Chinese government had offered to build a large and ornate Chinese garden at the National Arboretum in the state of Washington. The project would have cost US$100 million (~RM446 million) and would come with temples, pavilions, as well as a 21....

After its purchase by SmugMug earlier this year, Flickr has taken steps to save the sinking ship, which what led to its decision. The company figured out that 1000 is the sweet spot for free account users as Pro accounts tend to go beyond 1000 images while free accounts were found to be just under the magic number. Flickr is promoting its Pro accounts to users looking to store more than 1000 images (obviously) in their account, at a subscription fee of US$5....

Both sources suggest that the X-S10 will feature a 26.1MP X-Trans 4 sensor, a fourth generation Fujifilm X-Processor, and 6-axis IBIS with up to 6-stops of shake reduction. The camera is said to also be able to record 4K/30p and 1080/240p videos, and feature 18 different film simulations. It is also believed to be a successor to the X-T30 (pictured above) which was released in February last year. — 軒下デジカメ情報局 (@nokishita_c) October 7, 2020 Neither Fuji Rumors or Nikoshita have provided any images of the alleged camera, so its actual design and size is unknown for now....

In an interview with New Zealand news outlet 1 News, Newell said that “we definitely have games in development that we’re going to be announcing”. He also said that they will be of the single-player kind, citing the success of Alyx. The VR title “created a lot of momentum inside of the company to do more of that”. That being said, chances are it won’t be Half-Life 3, or Portal 3....

But the Battle of Winterfell (episode title: The Long Night) which took 55 days to film, 750 people on set and has a runtime of 82 mins (the longest battle in film/television history), is a different beast entirely. It isn’t about spectacle. The cool moments are fleeting. There are no crowd-pleasing speeches and rallying cries that will make you want to charge into battle alongside Jon Snow and Ser Jorah the Andal....

If you’re guessing that it has something to do with the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak, you’d be right. It’s much like the case with the Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2020 earlier in February. Unlike with the MWC though, the organisers of the event intend to still hold the event later in the year. For now, the organisers “fully intend to host a GDC event later in the summer”. The organisers will also be working with its partners to make plans to that effect....

To be precise, the company started up a crowdfunding page on Fig, a crowdfunding site that caters to video game developers. The game, while published under the Gearbox Software umbrella, will be spearheaded by Blackbird Interactive, the company who also developed the last Homeworld game, Homeworld: Deserts of Kharak. Homeworld 3 is set to be a full sequel to Homeworld 2, which first released back in 2003. From what we can tell, both Gearbox Software and Blackbird Interactive plans on using the same “painterly cinematics” that was first introduced in Deserts of Kharak....

Goeff Keighley tweeted a reminder that Gamescom is happening this coming Thursday. But as part of the tweet, there’s an additional line that references the player character of the series. Then there’s the accompanying media showing the word “rebooting” with the fleur-de-lis symbol that the game makes use of. We are “Bossing” it with our announcements this year 👀 https://t.co/osudHTCxj1 See you live, Wednesday at 11 am PT / 2 pm ET / 7 pm BST / 8 pm CEST at https://t....

In this case, the custom-cooled 6600 I have in my lab is one from Gigabyte’s Eagle lineup and, both to my knowledge and surprise, is the only 6600 to be fitted with a triple-fan cooling solution. Naturally, the question that arises from this is: does this actually help in keeping the card cooler and perform better? Specifications Design Compared to the previous cooler shroud design for its Eagle series, the current look on this 6600 looks more streamlined....

The platform claims that recent studies have shown KL drivers spend over 50 minutes in traffic and 25 minutes looking for parking on a daily basis. GoCar believes that its car-sharing service would decrease the number of cars fighting for space on the roads, and the newly integrated SSP and FP function would further extend that to parking locations as well. Also we made friends with two parking apps 😎 Check out what else is new 👉🏻 https://t....

The tweet says that according to the PlayStation Database, God of War Ragnarok will have a release date of 30 September 2022. Of course, it’s possible that the date is a placeholder, but still suggests that the game will be released within the third quarter of the year. It makes a fair degree of sense that Sony Interactive Entertainment would be “placing the budget on the books” in its fiscal calendar, as another reply to the tweet mentions....

As Google tells it, the zoologist has lived a storied life. Having never completed formal education thanks to World War II, Lim worked odd jobs to support his family. After the war, in 1947 he applied to be a temporary Lab Assistant at the Institute for Medical Research (IMR) in Kuala Lumpur. He would then be promoted as a permanent Lab Assistant in 1952. Between 1955 and 1969, he would publish over 80 scientific papers on vertebrates, and was then asked to head the Medical Ecology Division at the IMR....

The teaser itself is on Twitter, which starts off by saying “More Resolution”. It then goes on to say “More Everything”, without context, before displaying a date of 16 September 2020. The tweet itself lacks any other information on the GoPro Hero 9 Black. — GoPro (@GoPro) September 13, 2020 That being said, additional leaks prior, which corroborate the colour display, have made their way online. This include marketing materials, which did shed some light on the action cam’s spec sheet....

“I feel we need a policy just like e-hailing, which at one time was also not regulated. As such, the ministry is looking into having discussions on how we can protect the p-hailing (riders),” Wee said, according to Bernama. Commenting on the complaints of p-hailing riders who believe that their plight and welfare haven’t received enough attention, he said that the government understands these riders work hard to deliver items, estimating their number at about 100,000....

The pilot project is currently under the purview of Tourism, Arts and Culture Minister, Nancy Shukri and is expected to be finalised after a series of discussions with related stakeholders in the near future. PM Muhyiddin has also noted in the announcement that the policy may be implemented in other locations especially those that have a good grasp over tourist movements. The idea is rather simple: only fully vaccinated individuals are allowed to travel to Langkawi....
